--- Quote from: "Bulli" ---No one has mentioned the reason it isnt called a pajero in europe,its nothing to do with spec but the fact its a rude word in Spanish.

Hate to spoil a popular misconception but it's not. Pajero means Farmworker, more specifically one who uses a scythe. Pajiero is the rude word, it means someone who makes a similar hand movement. Close enough though for Spanish markets, that is why they're called Monteros there. The reason they're called Shoguns in the UK is solely down to the TV series Shogun.

Thrasher:
A Mistubishi Shogun is also a Server - anywhere but the UK.Odd huh? Imagine my surprise when I went to Dublin to replace the HDD in one ;-)
